I don't know why you find it surprising that computers (in this case Crafty) play strongly at blitz time controls. It's already known this is their playing fields. Quoting the oft-quoted wrong example (in my view), this is like asking a marathon runner to compete with a Ferrari. The real test of computers is long tournament time controls. Crafty is most likely not the strongest. MCP, Hiarcs, Fritz, Rebel, CST, CM, Shredder, Nimzo are all much stronger. It's interesting to watch a computer/human blitz game, but it's not valuable data. By the way, there are crafties which play on FICS too. (to balance the mention off icc in the post). And they are plenty tough also.
